Sometimes you don't realize just how good you've got it until something happens to show you.
Last Saturday my daughter Heather was having a party for he son's birthday. She went to check the barbeque grill when, all of a sudden, WHAM! the grill exploded in her face. She spent the next 4 days in a drug-induced coma in the ICU at the local hospital. I spoke with her just a few minutes ago. She came home from the hospital today with remarkably little damage. The fact that she is home so soon is probably the most remarkable part. Yes, she had 3rd degree burns on her ear and chin, 2nd degree burns on parts of her face and 1st degree burns on the rest of her head and neck. But, she inhaled FIRE and is able to speak. She's alive and has a tremendous amount of spunk.
Compared to what she's just gone through - do we really have anything to complain about?
I don't think so.
